Where is the valet swtich on my Kia Sedona to kill the alarm?

geoff_hazel asked:


We have a 2004 Kia Sedona minivan, with a car alarm. If we lose the remote opener keyfob, and open the car with a spare key, the alarm goes off and won’t stop.

I heard somewhere that there is a “valet switch” somewhere that I can push to kill the alarm if this happens.

Does anyone know where that switch is, or a website I can go to and find it?
